This 2020 Big G is a bold and opulent Bordeaux-style blend from Holden Manz, boasting dark fruit intensity, savoury complexity and a seamless, long finish that’s perfect for people seeking the premium Franschhoek reds.
Grapes from designated Big G blocks were hand-picked, co-fermented in open-top fermenters with indigenous yeasts, then matured for 24 months in 225 l French oak (30% new).
Big G stands out for its rigorous block selection and solera-style blending across vintages, delivering power, balance and layering that reward cellaring for up to 10 years.
Pairing Suggestions: Beef Wellington, lamb leg with rosemary and garlic or a rich daube de boeuf.
Tasting Note: Dark ruby with garnet edge with layers of cassis, blackberry, graphite, mulberry and plum framed by cedar and pencil shavings. The palate is creamy cassis and mulberry with integrated tannins and a long, tension-filled finish.
